The Council is our equivalent of a Board of Directors. It is the highest authority within The Foundation and is legally responsible for ensuring that everything we do is at the highest standards expected of a wholly philanthropic organisation. Our eight Directors come from widely differing backgrounds, demographics, age groups, and geographies. Many equivalent top teams are full of straight white men. We have two. They got there through merit.

"The driving force behind the team at Vytal has always been to work towards the global democratization of technology in the field of medicine. So when the Scott-Morgan Foundation reached out requesting our assistance to help them build an accessible, eye-tracking based ‘keyboard’ for people with ALS to communicate, we immediately jumped on board. We saw a partnership with the foundation as a chance to truly bring positive change to the lives of over 200,000 people with ALS all around the world."
